It surveys the grave of Theobald Wolfe Tone during the 185 years after his death in 1798, noting its silence for the first 45 years, its discovery by Thomas Davis in 1843, the placing of memorials in 1844, 1873, 1895 and 1971, the annual visits by political pilgrims from 1873, the logistics of organizing pilgrimages to a rural location, the crowds who descended on Bodenstown or paraded to the grave, the graveside orators who achieved fame or infamy, all assessed with regard to the political and social backgrounds of the changing times. Many well-known figures make significant appearances: Matilda Tone, John Devoy, John Daly, Fred Allan, James Connolly, John MacBride, Tom Clarke, Patrick Pearse, Sean O'Casey, Constance Markiewicz, Mary MacSwiney, W.T. Cosgrave, Eamon de Valera, Frank Aiken, Brian O'Higgins, Peadar O'Donnell, Sean MacBride, Tomas Mac Giolla, Roy Johnston and Ruairi O Bradaigh.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39436437848134,"sku":"3087","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/products\/BodenstownRevisitedTheGraveTheobaldWolfeTone_ItsMonumentsandItsPilgrimages_C.J.Woods.jpg?v=1629720165","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.pro\/products\/bodenstown-revisited-the-grave-theobald-wolfe-tone-its-monuments-and-its-pilgrimages-c-j-woods","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
